I think it's a good idea and the only reason that we don't do that yet is that we haven't gotten around to it yet. We do run the full test suite everytime we integrate code, so that's kinda the same thing, only not automated. >> >> 5. automate all deployment, post deployment testing, Yes. Yes.

Hadn't thought to do that, but it sounds like a good idea. Can someone give examples?
